In 1993, video game superstar Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog scored himself [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog a comic book series]] by Creator/ArchieComics. But after [[LongRunner 24 years, a whopping 290 issues]], a SoftReboot, and [[ScrewedByTheLawyers constant screwings from lawyers]], the series officially ended on July 19, 2017 when SEGA formally ended its relationship with Archie Comics.

Information on the comic so far has been sparse, but what is known is that the comic will be a clean slate ContinuityReboot, and that at least some ''Archie Sonic'' alumni are set to return to work on the comic, including writer Ian Flynn, who was with the Archie series from its 160th issue until its cancellation.

* AdventureFriendlyWorld: With locales from the various Sonic games available, it wouldn't be amiss to say that you'd be seeing places such as [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Green Hill Zone]], [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Station Square]], and [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Soleana]] show up.

* TruerToTheText: Going by the promo image it appears to follow the games more closely, with Tails, Knuckles, and Amy front and center alongside Sonic. This was already something that the new continuity of the Archie series was attempting before their cancellation. This time, however, there's no previous comic continuity to worry about.
